Joel & Bodie Turner were nice enough to be HONEST with me about my shooting and helped me recognize a fault in my system - made this video to potentially help others that might have a similar issue. This really helped me BUST out of my archery slump! Thanks for the support! -Dan
This level of honesty and transparency is so rare amongst UA-cam archers. I really appreciate it, Dan. You're legitimately one of the most down to earth and humble content creators I've had the pleasure of viewing. I'm glad to hear you're out of your slump. Keep hammering. 😂
Dan I appreciate everything you put out brotha and you push me everyday to make progress. Even if it’s a 1/4 step forward or benign he at to myself about archery, fitness or life. Your changing lives man and I’m here for it
This is one of your best videos. I've enjoyed your content for a number of years and I along with others enjoy your insight and experience, please keep it coming. Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing, Dan! I know we all struggle at times. I noticed on my Lift 29.5 that I was doing simular of either moving my face up to string or allowing my front hand to bring the bow back. Switched to 1/2 inch longer mods, and everything feels right. While my Lift 33, the shorter mods line everything up perfectly.
Had almost the same thing happen to me this year. Had a brand new set of A3 strings on my bow. Had just got everything settled and shooting good and maybe only 300 shots on them. I was looking over my bow and found several spots with major serving separation 3 weeks before elk season. Could not get any answers from A3, did not feel confident that I was going to make it through season without issues, so I got ahold of a new string company I've been following, Hooked up Bowstrings. They were willing to rush build me a set and had it to my house in 5 days from contacting them. Nothing more stressful than that situation! Lucky for me everything went on perfectly and literally had to do nothing to my bow to get it perfectly tuned. Ready to hit the hills next weekend to try to fill my cow elk tag and a couple weeks after that I'll be on my big bull hunt. It's my only two tags this year and I'm excited to give it all I've got to get it done!
It’s easy to feel stuck, like there’s no light on the other side of a slump or in my case when you have target panic. But being real with yourself like this and working through it like you have, is the way to beat it. Thanks for sharing Dan!
This is what I am going through after switching over my strings, thanks for all the helpful tips on trying to nail down where my consistency went. Honest quality content!
Some days, even if you have years and years of experience, you think "man, I am the only one who shoots this much to suck this bad". Its always refreshing to hear that you arent the only one that has up's and down's. #A.B.T
I have had such good luck with the ABB strings. They’re my go to now. Also, I was going through the same slump right during Lamper’s archery summit. It was frustrating as hell. Joel is always a great reality check and I love getting a Turner Tune Up 👍
This is what I needed to hear, I knew something was off when I was shooting I switched from an index finger trigger to a thumb release and I felt like I was moving my head in more to see through the peep site, thank you for making this video this help me a lot
Thanks for the video. I have spent many hours trying to figure out this same thing out. I have learned that shooting a bow is a lifelong process. You learn and at times have to re-learn. Great video it’s nice to know that others are going through similar processes.
Love this video Dan! Awesome in depth and just all around love of archery and want to be the best! Mfjj’s comment in vid of always seeing you at the shop speaks to it lol
This is one of the reasons I like Elite bows so much. They have 1/4" DL adjustment and a moveable draw stop. You can dial in the exact DL and holding weight without twisting strings and cables or buying extra parts. Most people don't understand how important having the DL micro adjusted to fit you is to consistent acuracy.

My match strings have lasted since I purchased my Lift 33 in November. A little fray, but no stretch. I’ll probably replace with GAS strings after archery season. Great vid, excellent info!
Running Unbound bowstrings this year and have the last few years. Bloodline material and have yet to have stretch issues and they are a no wax. Wish you the best man on this upcoming season
I did the same thing with my Lift. I went through two sets of Match strings and i was never happy with them. I put a set of Gas Freakshows stings on and now my stars are aligned! Love the video !
I really like the fact that you shared this it shows the rest of us that you were not a machine 😂. And that everyone can use refreshing by having somebody watch them and point out little things his form is so important.
I’m right there with you. I got a new bow in June and that’s not the problem. I have my own press, draw board etc and it’s all good. As a matter of fact I have enjoyed shooting this new bow so much I’ve really put the time in. I don’t know what my problem is but I have been SO hot and cold EXACTLY like you were describing.
I just did this exact thing this year I went from Mathews triax 28in ATA to the new lift at 33 ATA huge difference there because I have a 30 inch draw and I was shooting 29.5 and I had to tuck my head it didn't feel right at all I figured going to a longer ATA would change string angle and I wouldn't tuck little did i know i was short on my draw and bumped it up to 30 and it's nice and smooth now still a slight head tuck but I have a small nose lol and if I go any further my arm will be over extended thanks for putting this video out everyone has slumps !
Excellent video! I envy the knowledge you have around you to help with stuff like this! I have to drive 2 hours one way to get to a pro shop and even then sometimes don’t know if I’m getting the information that is best. Keep going, keep putting out the great stuff!
maybe changing the equipment that much is a point. stay with a bow and arrow setup longer than a season. you trust the setup more and that equals ro confidence and consistency
Got a lift in January. Went to the bow shop this past weekend and found my bow had dropped a few pounds. They twisted things up and got me back to where I should be. I'm going to keep the match strings on through this season as long as they don't completely go bad. Even with the little stretch the timing was still good. Also, an elk emersion in the south somewhere would be awesome!
George Ryals just did a great video on checking your draw length. Basically draw with your head straight and settle your shoulders, then turn your head and see how the draw fits.
I’m definitely in a slump right now. I will be checking my draw after this.. also great to hear you guys may do more camps next year as well as TAC. If your in Pa definitely see you there haha
Awesome stuff! Amazing to have access to true mentors and a solid proshop so near. I'm pretty solid on my 28" drawlength, but one thing I noticed was...I started shooting with a UV Button and I didn't know how long I felt until I switched to the Stan Onnex Click. With the Stan's shorter neck, my anchor point feels way more solid (like that bone on bone anchor you mentioned) and more comfortable. And I'm not searching for my peep cos there is way less head tilt while anchoring in. Good Stuff Dan! Godspeed!
First, I appreciate your candor and honesty, be real homie. As of the last 5 years I run gas, they're the best. However, I recently put some ABB Platinums on my primary bow, and they are a little soft than gas, but so far, so good. Gotta change it up every now and again just too keep em honest! I forsee me going back to Gas Strings...
I shot a 27.5 in draw length on my v3x. When I got the lift and put 27.5 I found the same issue you did. Went up to 28” and I’ve been shooting the best I’ve ever shot
I feel the slump as well!!! Im super new to archery and have no idea what I'm doing! 😂 and a lot of days, I feel like I'm getting worse than better. I need a Joel in my town hahaha
Gas strings! Can’t wait to buy my Mathew’s Lift hopefully I’ll get out there with you and MFJJ can’t wait! Coming from NY so hopefully the camp that Josh is setting up. Hopefully I’ll meet all of you, I feel like I know all of you because I’ve seen every video of you and Josh and Tim. Well you’ll get it together. BTW I need more elk shape vanes!!!
Just went through this a week ago after shooting TAC. Shots were breaking well but POI was not what I was expecting. Pushed my draw length by 1/2’’ and it feels much better
Had the same problem. Was shooting next to a pro at a local club and he was watching me and told me I’m a 1/2 inch to short. So long story short set length and have been drilling the targets ever since. It’s hard to fix posture when you can’t see what others around you can.
Okay I absolutely love this video, i was having the same problem with pushing my face into my peep sight and feeling like I could pull my draw back. I’m going to go and see if I can get this fixed. Love the video!
After struggling with opiates for like 10 years, I finally got clean and in trying to give myself something to stay focused on I bought a Hoyt Torrex last year so I could start shooting and hunting again. And after I buy the bow I find out the shop I bought it from has no idea how to tune bows n I can’t drive way off to anyone else so now I’ve got a brand new bow I never shoot n obviously can’t hunt with it because it’s so out of wack not comfortable with that at all, im just extremely bummed with all of it.
Check out or find a string maker who will make a set with X99. Its a smaller diameter so its a higher strand count and uses less vectran than 452x so it doesnt require wax as often. 452 also uses vectran but has more and vectran absorbs up wax. Ive also found higher speeds with x99 and definitely less fuzzing.
currently going through the same issue with form and equipment. changed draw length for different anchor, new arrow rest, changed d loop just to find out by bow top cam was leaning too much one way. it was frustrating not getting anything right between technique and equipment but one thing helps solve the other
Running a set of unbound archery bloodline on my lift 29.5 Fit and finish it’s absolutely top shelf serving was dead on for ip4 nock and service was great Had gas on before that Huge fan of the bloodline threads
Bought my first bow a few years ago and the shop owner was praising how well it fit me and how perfect it was... After shooting for a while i just felt like it was too short. Went to another shop and it turns out he sold me a 31 inch bow and i have a 33 inch draw :( the best part is all the arrows i bought cut for 31 inch draw
For me the anchor point is the most importance aspect. If I forget to ram my knuckle into my ja and the string on my nose, I won’t hit the side of a barn.
its funny i found this video because my local shop broke my old hoyt and when i got a new bow from the same shop because im a lefty and it was the only shop around that had a lefty bow on a whim they measured me at 26.5 but i am way more comfortable at 27 draw length, needless to say that shop went out of buisness, wish i had this level of archery knowledge in my area just havent found it yet.
I’ve been running Wicked Twisted bow strings in blood line material on my 2018 Mathew’s TRIX I shoot a lot like you Have yet to have a issue Set ran me $190 installed
great video dan and this is why i subscribe follow and support ELK SHAPE JT PODIUM ARCHERY i look forward to shootimg and watching channel even after 40 years of shooting
27’s and some ‘special adjustments’ could make it 26.75”. 🤷🏻♂️ PERFECT DL makes a HUGE difference for me. I can tell when there’s an 1/8” to much or to little. D loop length won’t fix it due to nose to string distance. Especially since I typically run no stabs and no quiver, and have a 4lb bow, it’s REAL easy to see a draw length issue in your pin float whereas stabs and other attachments can really be setup in a way that covers it up. It’s the main reason in the off-season I shoot without stabs or other attachments. I remember the first couple months after years of running bars it was very interesting. I Worked on form, worked on DL, worked on the shot process, and that pin float was very good. Then if I needed, stabs for a particular setup or shooting at long range I will set that up knowing everything else is money already. Just make sure it’s tuned once the bars are back on and go from there. DL perfection is #2 with proper form #1!
I wonder if the anchor/draw could be induced by the Lift itself. I have the V3X 33 and I can’t rationalize an upgrade when they shoot the same speed and a much stiffer draw. I saw the same, it takes longer to get ready.
Running catfish custom strings on my RX-1. with waxless Vec99 material. Superb customer service, guys out of Michigan. But my shop 45 mins out the only one i trust had some new guys in there and didnt even tie in nock sets, and told me i have to shoot it a bunch then come back. Time to get my own press and vise i think…these strings are guaranteed no stretch/separation, peep rotation within the first year. Very frustrating. Need to go back because im going to try a raptor peep for the first time…also didnt like how they tied in the peep just overhands above and under…didnt serve in the peep at all lol first world archery probs
Exactly where i am at the moment. Have a v3x 33 at 85% and 29.5 inch mods, because i was told mathews mods run a bit long, and with side plates it measures 29.9 , but still feels a bit short (im 30 inch dl), so i ordered some 80% 30 inch mods, and now im afraid they will be too long if they run longer then what they say. I love the feel of Mathews, but the adjustability and tuning are a bit behind...
Match strings need some refinement. Mine stretched and I am going to GAS. I really like the Lift, it holds so well, but the strings stretched so badly that I have lost any confidence in those strings.
You two are about to see the biggest fanboy You've Ashley come to seven springs next year. I would love to see you guys and a dream come true if i would get to shoot with younz. Maybe ill see you boys at tue springs, just got my gas platinum. Took ghost xv off after 4 years on that set!
Spend more time shooting your target bow 60lbs, you will learn how still you can get your pin to sit by playing with draw length loop length. It’s crazy and a good way to get reps in. Shoot some indoor and 3Ds with your target bow. Shooting a 300 on a Vegas is probably just as hard as elk hunting 😂
Honestly I've always thought you looked a tiny bit short at 27". I know you have a larger pointier nose than most that can kind of get in the way a bit, but the string could definitely come back further on your face. A slightly higher anchor and longer d-loop might be all thats needed for you to achieve a more "classic" locked in anchor. All of that said, most important with draw length is obviously not how it looks with face contact, its about body alignment and hold. So if you feel good at 27" then rock it. All the best.
Im new to srchery, but this is pretty prevelant in all sports. Shooting, bowling, and so on. People spend to much time tinkering, and not enough time bettering themselves.

Picked up a pair of Gas Ghost for my 29.5 Lift recently, I respect the lack of ego. Keep making the great content! I learn from you every week.
Great video man. Thanks for everything you do for the bow hunting community. Nothing but respect and gratitude.

Love the vids! Pumped when I see a new vid come up from elkshape
Same thing happened to me had mine set at 26 and switched to 30 noticed a huge difference thanks Dan
Is this a case of too much tinkering? Thanks for the honesty and sharing - we can all learn from everything you share.
Running JBK strings this year on my primary bow and Catfish Customs on my backup bow. Good video Dan keep it up
George Ryals just did a great video on checking your draw length. Basically draw with your head straight and settle your shoulders, then turn your head and see how the draw fits.

Love the channel. GAS baby!!! Love them on my LIFT. Thanks Dan.
Great video. Definitely can relate! Keep the content coming!
Excellent video that’s something I haven’t even thought of Pretty new to bows though. Thanks again for the great videos Keep them coming
Just bought the elite ethos ,been shooting Mathew’s sense the mq1 ethos 1/4 inch draw adjustment literally love this bow.
Love it!! Can’t wait for seven springs next year!
First, I appreciate your candor and honesty, be real homie.

I shot a 27.5 in draw length on my v3x. When I got the lift and put 27.5 I found the same issue you did. Went up to 28” and I’ve been shooting the best I’ve ever shot
I think draw length is absolutely one of the most important things to get correct and it will show in your shooting.
I feel the slump as well!!! Im super new to archery and have no idea what I'm doing! 😂 and a lot of days, I feel like I'm getting worse than better. I need a Joel in my town hahaha
Gas strings! Can’t wait to buy my Mathew’s Lift hopefully I’ll get out there with you and MFJJ can’t wait! Coming from NY so hopefully the camp that Josh is setting up.

Great video Dan.
Did I hear seven springs? Man I’d love to see you guys at that tac, will be my first one next yr.
You are always putting out great content. When I change my strings out after season I plan on going with gas ghost strings.
After struggling with opiates for like 10 years, I finally got clean and in trying to give myself something to stay focused on I bought a Hoyt Torrex last year so I could start shooting and hunting again.

currently going through the same issue with form and equipment. changed draw length for different anchor, new arrow rest, changed d loop just to find out by bow top cam was leaning too much one way.
it was frustrating not getting anything right between technique and equipment but one thing helps solve the other

Running a set of unbound archery bloodline on my lift 29.5 Fit and finish it’s absolutely top shelf serving was dead on for ip4 nock and service was great Had gas on before that Huge fan of the bloodline threads

For me the anchor point is the most importance aspect. If I forget to ram my knuckle into my ja and the string on my nose, I won’t hit the side of a barn.
Great message loved this video.
its funny i found this video because my local shop broke my old hoyt and when i got a new bow from the same shop because im a lefty and it was the only shop around that had a lefty bow on a whim they measured me at 26.5 but i am way more comfortable at 27 draw length, needless to say that shop went out of buisness, wish i had this level of archery knowledge in my area just havent found it yet.
Unbound archery strings are my favorite lol

Dan, everyone feels better picking up a 1/2". When you shoot as much as you do, even a 1/4" feels like a huge difference.
I run Twisted X strings on my bows. Bought a Traverse that has Gas strings on it. When it's time to change, it will be Twisted X.
Running catfish custom strings on my RX-1. with waxless Vec99 material. Superb customer service, guys out of Michigan. But my shop 45 mins out the only one i trust had some new guys in there and didnt even tie in nock sets, and told me i have to shoot it a bunch then come back. Time to get my own press and vise i think…these strings are guaranteed no stretch/separation, peep rotation within the first year. Very frustrating. Need to go back because im going to try a raptor peep for the first time…also didnt like how they tied in the peep just overhands above and under…didnt serve in the peep at all lol first world archery probs
Gas for me. Just installed them. My match strings lasted 332 shots and the serving on the cable started separating
por qué ustedes no hablan del arco Mathew's lift. 29.5 que tiene problema con los lembs y se están partiendo.
Humble killer. Love it
Let's go! 🏹
Throw the rangefinder away. That is a big help. Also, pick up a trad bow and switch it up every once in a while.
Thanks for your help 👍
I'm actually about to order a set of Gas Ghost strings. I just can't decide on my colors
Exactly where i am at the moment. Have a v3x 33 at 85% and 29.5 inch mods, because i was told mathews mods run a bit long, and with side plates it measures 29.9 , but still feels a bit short (im 30 inch dl), so i ordered some 80% 30 inch mods, and now im afraid they will be too long if they run longer then what they say. I love the feel of Mathews, but the adjustability and tuning are a bit behind...
Good stuff!
Your going to fill those tags brotha don’t worry
this was awesome
I’m hearing people are having issues with the Lift limbs cracking? Have you seen that with your lift?
Good content!
Match strings need some refinement. Mine stretched and I am going to GAS. I really like the Lift, it holds so well, but the strings stretched so badly that I have lost any confidence in those strings.
What would cause the bow to be out of time on its own ?
You two are about to see the biggest fanboy You've Ashley come to seven springs next year. I would love to see you guys and a dream come true if i would get to shoot with younz. Maybe ill see you boys at tue springs, just got my gas platinum. Took ghost xv off after 4 years on that set!
How do you deal with the “right” draw length and bulky clothes, heavy jackets?
Dan, did you remove your nose button? If so, are you liking it better?
I had such a slump after tac
Spend more time shooting your target bow 60lbs, you will learn how still you can get your pin to sit by playing with draw length loop length. It’s crazy and a good way to get reps in. Shoot some indoor and 3Ds with your target bow. Shooting a 300 on a Vegas is probably just as hard as elk hunting 😂
+5 speed unlocked!

Honestly I've always thought you looked a tiny bit short at 27". I know you have a larger pointier nose than most that can kind of get in the way a bit, but the string could definitely come back further on your face. A slightly higher anchor and longer d-loop might be all thats needed for you to achieve a more "classic" locked in anchor. All of that said, most important with draw length is obviously not how it looks with face contact, its about body alignment and hold. So if you feel good at 27" then rock it. All the best.
why don't you talk about Mathew's lift bow. 29.5 that has a problem with the lembs and they are breaking.
A couple have splintered none have broke. Mathews covered to fix the problem and fixed it.
Im new to srchery, but this is pretty prevelant in all sports. Shooting, bowling, and so on. People spend to much time tinkering, and not enough time bettering themselves.
good stuff
